■ Fake Food Workshop – Wax food Samples

You must have you seen all the delicious looking foods on the restaurant windows, right? This might come as a surprise, but all of the them are actually fake, made of wax and plastic! Making fake food is a big industry in Japan and Asakusa – especially Kappabashi Street – is famous for its food samples. Restaurant businesses from all over Japan come to Asakusa to buy fake food and to learn how to make it themselves. At Khaosan World Asakusa, you can try making your own food samples! And the best thing: it’s all free!!
